The records include manuscript minutes of meetings of the Board of Directors and of the Executive Committee, 1835-1856; financial journals and ledgers, 1835-1860; a book of receipt stubs from stock certificates (with blank and voided certificates), 1835-1847; an inventory book, 1850-1868 (which also includes a couple of records relating to the cost of labor and materials on specific company projects in 1868); an undated "census" of property owners listed by square; and a plan book of the"second section", dated 1852.

The last-named volume, prepared by civil engineer/surveyor Theodore Gillespie, includes copies of plans of individual squares in the section, showing lot subdivisions and names of lot owners, along with accompanying charts showing lot dimensions and valuations. Pasted into the back of the plan book are a copy of the 1835 DePouilly plan of Faubourg Jackson, an undated plan of the cemeteries at Canal Street and present-day City Park Avenue, and a plan (also by Gillespie) of property along Bayou St. John east of Faubourg Jackson.
